"All that is including me" is a contemporary classical music piece composed by Misato Mochizuki. The piece was composed in 2016 and premiered on October 22, 2016, at the Festival Musica in Strasbourg, France. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own unique characteristics. The first movement, titled "L'air du temps," is characterized by its use of extended techniques on the instruments. The strings are played with a variety of techniques, including harmonics, glissandos, and pizzicato. The woodwinds and brass also use extended techniques, such as multiphonics and flutter-tonguing. The movement is marked by a sense of tension and unease, with the instruments often playing in dissonance with each other. The second movement, titled "L'air du lieu," is a more contemplative and introspective piece. The movement is marked by a slower tempo and a more melodic approach to the instruments. The strings play long, sustained notes, while the woodwinds and brass provide a gentle accompaniment. The movement is characterized by a sense of stillness and calm, with the instruments blending together in a harmonious whole. The final movement, titled "L'air du jeu," is a more playful and energetic piece. The movement is marked by a faster tempo and a more rhythmic approach to the instruments. The strings play fast, staccato notes, while the woodwinds and brass provide a lively accompaniment. The movement is characterized by a sense of joy and exuberance, with the instruments playing off each other in a playful and improvisational way. Overall, "All that is including me" is a complex and challenging piece of contemporary classical music. The piece requires a high level of technical skill from the performers, as well as a deep understanding of the composer's intentions. The piece is marked by a sense of experimentation and exploration, with the composer pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the instruments. Despite its challenges, "All that is including me" is a rewarding and engaging piece of music, offering listeners a unique and thought-provoking experience.
